First Claim
1. A method for managing at least one media stream from a media source to a media destination, said media stream passing through at least one network, comprising the steps of:
- providing a media manager for managing said media stream and said at least one network for performing at least one of the management functions bandwidth management, media hairpin detection, media path control, equal access, or preventing media backhauling;
storing in said media manager at least one of the media stream information types media routing, receive transport address, routed receive transport address, source network, destination network, media stream identifier, or bandwidth of the media stream for a time period during which said media stream exists in said at least one network; and
said media manager using at least one of said stored information types for performing at least one of said management functions.

Abstract
In a method and system for managing at least one media stream from a media source to a media destination, where the media stream passes through at least one network, providing a media manager for managing the media stream and the at least one network for performing at least one of the management functions bandwidth management, media hairpin detection, media path control, equal access or preventing media backhauling. In the media manager at least one of the media stream information types media routing, receive transport address, routed receive transport address, source network, destination network, media stream identifier, or bandwidth of the media stream is stored for a time period during which the media stream exists in the at least one network. The media manager uses at least one of the stored information types for performing at least one of the management functions.
